Crabwall Manor Wedding – IOTW 2015 – Week 22

Crabwall Manor Wedding – CG Weddings by the Crawleys

I made this image last year at St Werburghs catholic church in Chester – they held their reception at Crabwall Manor on the Wirral. The image shows our nervous groom Chris expressing high emotion as he anticipates the approach of his bride Claire, who is making her way down the aisle, on the arm of her father. All wedding photographers position themselves for this shot in the hope of capturing some powerful emotion but in my 13 years as a wedding photographer I don’t think I’ve captured a stronger image than this from this part of the day. I know how I felt at this point when I got married and I did what most men do, try to hold it in. It’s awesome to see such high emotion from Chris, you can really see just how much Claire means to him and to feel comfortable displaying that level of emotion in front of a photographer who is literally a few feet away makes me feel great about the job I am doing week in week out.
